So many young children become violents because of videogames. Why " Call of Duty" is not forbidden ?

Question

Especially in USA, it's dangerous because it's easy to get a weapon. And crazy people can make horrible things...

Why Senate doesn't vote a Bill against violence on TV and videogames ?

No video games don't

Lack of discipline from parents,
Lack of Respect,
No pride, and No consequence for when person dose wrong.

Cop, Soldiers, Parents need to take controll

Answer 2

Such censorship would impinge on constitutional freedoms. If Congress wished to make such a law they would need to craft it in the narrowest way and demonstrate an overwhelming compelling interest. At least, that is essentially the legal language needed.

That polite answer aside let me give me actually opinion to your question. Your argument rests on an association between violence and video games. However, you use the word "because" which indicates a causal relationship. Such a claim is far from justified in any remote sense.

Other people might respond to this thread and point out the various moments of extreme violence in our (humanity) past. Viking raiders often butchered entire towns...but then I guess they had Super Mario to cause their violence.

Answer 3

Because TV and video games don't cause people to be become violent. Some people are just born violent people. Violent people aren't created by playing video games. If you are not prone to violence, seeing violent images does not change you in a way to make you want to recreate them. Even the VTech shooter was just simply a mean person, his roomates said he never played video games at all. In America we are lucky enough to choose what we want to see and what we want to play, as long as we are of age. That right simply can't be taken away.

Young children are at war now,those 18 year olds that see war first hand and are not allowed to at least have a drink.These kids that are at war now in Iraq probably played some video games that you are talking about now.Some of those video games worked their hand to eye coordination with all the technology in weapons I think its good.Anyway how about those kids in Africa being brainwashed to be killers,Our young kids could be watching a Special on TV and see kids their age killing whole villages.You want them to ban those stories from the news to.Why do we protect our kids from the truth.When they will found out for themselves the truth later.Teach your kid the rights and wrongs even if the question they ask is even harder for us to answer.They have the information at their fingertips and they know how to use it.They can come back from a question they asked that you that you gave a misleading answer to.Then explain yourself to them now.

Answer 5

There has been no proven study that states such things cause violence. I have played video games almost all my life and enjoy them, but I can tell the differnce between right and wrong and did even then. Kids are going to physical, it is in nature even, it is a way to make social order. It is the parent's responsiblity to see what child can handle and what they can not.

Answer 6

The video game in and of itself is harmless. But when a child is brought up in an environment where instead of healthy parental involvement, all they get is a television as a guide, then violent games - or any game for that matter - in essence becomes a belief system. Better said, the child is free to think as it is, but without guidance from parents, they are open and teachable minds.

Answer 7

here we go again...'the video game made me do it'.what did you play with as a child?i had g.i. joes,he-man,and the toy riffles that made the really cool sound when you pulled the trigger.we used to play war all day every day in the woods in our neighborhood.my grandfather had me shooting my first gun at 12.i grew up watching friday the 13th and nightmare on elm st.my favorite video game was contra,a war game.i was from a broken home,live in a 'ghetto',and grew up on welfare with my single mother.how many people have i killed because of this?0..my friends?0...must be the violence,not the individual,huh?not the parents?keep blaming it on something else,since that's the easiest answer,right?

Answer 8

What kills me about todays video games is that the cartoons that my generation grew up on are now considered unacceptable because they are violent........I'm talking Bugs Bunny, Road Runner, Porky Pig, and Elmer Fudd!

What the hell is wrong with this picture? Kids now are rude, obnoxious, lazy, and shooting up their schools because of the lack of parental responsibility, lack of personal accountability, and all the violence they see on TV / vidoe games.

"We" grew up on the bad cartoons - but we didn't shoot people and we didn't drop anvils on peoples heads......but these things we bad for us.....kids now are killing people --- but that's okay let's give them even MORE violent things to see.

Houston.........we have a problem and it ain't Marving the Martian!

Answer 9

it is a form of brainwashing. just watching tv when you are a young child has been shown to cause ADD. the 60hz flicker rate combined with the virtual reality sucks you in and makes it seem real to children. i don't think a ban of violent video games is required though. Parents should just be made more aware of how television brainwashes their children.

You know that the anti-depressant medicines are psycho-tropic drugs that can cause people to go on violent rampages? where is the call for those to be banned? that young man who killed all of the people at VA TECH a few weeks ago was on that medicine.

Answer 10

Because, fortunately most people are possessed of something you are lacking: Common Sense. That's right, I'm calling you a MO-RON. Go hug a tree or something.
